Good Luck to all teams in their conference tournaments this week.

Actually, there was an earlier post that said,"Maybe the best team ever in southeastern Ohio"

[ace63]

Athens has a very good team this year, Kaiser has done a great job with these kids, but to say they are the best ever in southeast Ohio is a stretch I think.

Some team off the top of my head that were better than this years Athens team:

The 1992-93 Logan Chieftains with Wyrick, Lambert, Chief, Funk, Allison, and others that participated in the Division I state duals
The 1998-99 Marietta Tigers with 4 D-I state qualifiers, 2 placers, 5 SEOAL Champions, and 3 Runners-up
The 1999-00 Marietta Tigers with 4 D-I state qualifiers, 1 placer, 6 District Qualifers, 6 SEOAL Champions, and 2 Runners-up
The 1989 Warren team when they had two state champions and finished 4th in the state.
The 2004-05 and 2005-06 Nelsonville-York Teams.

I am sure there others out there also, these are just the ones that come to mind.

I think everyone is talking about this year . Not the past.

no one is trying to be negative.

early in the thread, tric said that this might be the best team ever to come out of southeast ohio and people are commenting on that..

he edited his thread as i did

He edited his post after I put mine on.

Good Job Athens Keep Up The Good Work!!!!!!!!!!

[gpgm6566]

None of my comments were meant to be negitive in any way; clearly Athens is the best team in the area.

[get serious]

Its over (Time for TVC lets move on)

[Auburntgrfan]

From what I saw of the tournament it seemed to run pretty smooth. I guess the electric went out earlier in the day to the score boards, but other that that it would seem that the Deno is getting tougher each year. This is a good sign for the SouthEast wrestling fans. Was talki8ng with some people I knew from other schools and it seems that Fondale from New Lex. may be considering retiring from coaching, he has had some very good individuals and tough teams wrestling in a good wrestling league w/Sheridan/Morgan/New Lex/John Glenn (Ibelieve)/ and I may be leaving someone out. It was an overall enjoyable finals. Good job the all and the Bulldogs.

[ItsGoTime]

I wonder if Kaizer would be interested in that job?

[Leaddog]

Kaiser has a good job and is very happy with it. The administration, the parents, and the student athletes have treated me very well in Athens. New Lex has a great staff and I am good friends with all the coaches their and many parents, but Athens has provided me with a great teaching job, paid coaching positions, uniforms, mats, facilities, and support needed to have a successful wrestling program and I am grateful for that. Besides I believe that my good friend Dave Ratliff is in line for that job and I think he is a highly motivated coach and teacher, and has a ton of support from parents and community.

[tric118]

So with that said does that mean Kizer lol is taking the job. jk lol

[EDD]

Kaiser is stilling @ Athens because he has the support of the parents & the student athletes.

[tric118]

I would think if he is stilling from Athens he could get in trouble. jk lol

[nybucksmom]

Stilling was an old "behind the scenes" money making method back during the Great Depression. My Grandpa had one!
Didn't know it was "still" in use today! lol!

That would be one fine fund raiser for a wrestling program.....j/k LOL!

Glad Kaiser is staying at Athens...he's done a great job with their program.

[Leaddog]

I thought "stilling" was an elective at NY. hahahaha
